In essence, TEN was established by trusteess. The organization is governed by a Board of volunteers, most of which are Chapter 13 trustees. The effects of TEN: • Assess the needs of Chapter 13 trustees and serve as a conduit peer-guided for the delivery of education programs consistent financial management for debtors they serve. • Develop quality materials suitable for the debtor participants of the various class education. • Provide positive, motivating programs at no cost to bankruptcy debtors. • Keep tools for monitoring and evaluation to ensure the quality of educational programs.

These are available for chapter 13 trustees who choose to provide financial management education to debtors they serve.
